  i have also found that passes that are directly overhead are the worst 
to try and copy because of the mismatch in antenna polarity. horizon 
shots are slam dunk but overhead are virtually invisible (or deaf to my 
antennas). you would think because they are closest to you and directly 
overhead that you are good to go but this is not the case.
